My blogging continues…

So it’s been forever since I actually wrote a full blog about what’s going on. I guess this is as good as time as any, because I don’t have a camera at the moment to film a vlog. Why you might ask? Well if you’ve been keeping up with my twitter, then you will know that I lost my Sony digicam. I don’t know what the hell happened to it. It was on my couch one day, and then boom. It’s gone. So I still had my Sony HDD cam. It continued to use this for a while and then I realized something. I just didn’t like the quality as much as I thought I did. So I went shopping around. I found the Flip Mino video camera, and I really liked the quality and everything, but I still had this though in my head that I needed to buy a new digicam. I went looking around for something that had video and photo capabilities like my Sony. I found a few things, but nothing I wanted to spend hundred’s of dollars on. I then found a few things by Kodak I liked. I read the reviews and found one that really suited what I needed. The Kodak v1253 12 megapixel HD digital camera. It shoots 720p high definition video and 3000×2000 resolution photos. For most of you that probably don’t know much about cameras, the quality of the pictures have a lot to do with the resolution, among other things. I picked this one, because it out performed the Flip with the video, and the Flip doesn’t have the ability to take pictures. Although I liked the whole design and everything of the Flip, it just wasn’t for me. Here’s a photo of the device:

So this should be here either tomorrow or Monday. I will then shoot a video to show you the quality of the device. It’s just so cool!

In other news; the upstairs is almost done. I finished the trim up, painting and stuff, and painted the doors. April and her dad are going to pick up the doors tomorrow. Her dad is also going to start sanding the floors and possibly will have a coat of stain on. He said he should finish them this weekend. Then all we will have to do is put the carpet up and the banister. Then we can start moving the desk and computers up there. Once that is done, we will be able to get our new furniture and LCD T.V. Can’t wait for that. Should be within the next 2 weeks and we will be completely done with it. So that means no more videos ;)

So that was a long one. I have a whole lot more to say, but that will have to wait till I get the camera. I’m not used to all this typing anymore…

Update: Also the streaming cam will be up and running again when all of this remodeling stuff is over! I’ve been doing some testing and stuff and have it on my blog, but it won’t be live till about 2 weeks or so!
